I am new to this site so here goes. I have a 2003 400 Arctic Cat auto 4x4 quad. I cannot get any spark at the plug. Battery power is good, starter coil fuse is good, Engine turns over, all fuses are good, new ignition coil, plug wire, end, and spark plug have been replaced. New stator was installed. All lights on handle bar are working. Headlights are working.
Am I looking at a new CDI or a possible short to ground? and if it's a short to ground would it be the white wire with the blue strip coming from the ignition coil?

 

i would suggest trying a cdi box or putting yours on another one and see if thats the problem before you drop cash on one. if that works do that if not check the wiring.
Also when you replaced the stator you should have replaced the little electronic thing which i believe comes with wires. (at least on my old recon it did.)
If you cant borrow a cdi or use yours on another id trace the wiring with a test light or volt meter.

 

Not familar with Suzuki motors, but do they have a Pulse/Trigger coil nexts to the flywheel?
If its out of wack or even a dirty magnetic face you can lose your spark.

 

Thanks for the reply awdcivic.
I checked every component on my quad. Tried my CDI on another quad, ok.The problem originally started with the stater so I removed the new stator and compared it to the old one. Same stator. I did find the problem. It was the gap between the magneto pick up sensor and the magneto. It calls for a .010" gap but the gap cannot be set once the stator is mounted into the housing and the housing is mounted onto the enigne where the magneto is so I moved the sensor as close as it would go towards the stator. Assembled everything and I had spark.

 

Dang so far this forum is so much better than crappy highlifter where everybody thinks there better than each other and hardly ever say thanks.
Glad you figured the problem out and got it running happy riding.

 

i am new to ATVs and purchased a 2015 Artic cat 500r, 2015 Honda, and a 2012 can am this year. Everything was great. They sat for the past month and half and now he Artic Cat won't start. No juice at all put a battery charger up to it and got juice but still won't start and have no idea why. Any help would be great. Also need to get it ready for winter. Live in Vermont so gets cold so what do I need to do to get it ready?
